What happened to deep conversations?

In-group out-group sociology. Belief in God is now a thing that defines 'our kind of people' and gives license to hate 'their kind of people'. This was not always true in America

Didn't it kind of start in the late 40s? Maybe the early 50s. The early Cold War, when communism and godlessness went hand-in-hand.

I also remember having deep conversations with my family, and those conversations are pretty much the reason I don't care much for religion anymore, and thus don't care to have more "deep" conversations.

I vividly remember asking how humans could have been created five days after the Universe if the Earth alone is billions of years old, whereas our species is not. I didn't get a very convincing answer. Mind you, I was like six or seven at the time, and already thinking the Bible is full of it.
